1943-44 Wartime League

From TheChels.info - The Chelsea Football Club Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

So we continue with another “unofficial” season, The War continues and Chelsea again play in the Football League South, along with 17 other teams. Matches were played home and away, but, possibly due number of available dates, two clubs (in Chelsea’s case Clapton Orient and Southampton being the teams involved) were not met by each team.
In addition Chelsea also played in the London War Cup. Here Chelsea were in a group of 6 teams, again matches being home and away. The winners of each of the four groups meeting in the semi-finals and Final.



There is still a heavy prevalence of Guest players and these are indicated, as far as is known, in the stats section at the end.

There is again no information known about a reserve team, primarily due to the reporting of any football being extremely restricted in the National Press.
